"The Republican mayoral nominee abruptly quit his job at WABC-AM Radio during a blistering live interview on the station on Wednesday morning after the station's billionaire owner, John Catsimatidis, publicly called for Sliwa to drop out of the mayoral election two days ago. Speaking with right-wing commentator Sid Rosenberg on the Sid & Friends show on Wednesday, Sliwa complained that the station was giving favorable treatment to Cuomo and vowed never to return to work at the station, regardless of the outcome of the election."
"He also blasted Rosenberg for what he described as a series of negative attacks against his campaign. There are colleagues at WABC who are going out of their way to criticize me, Sliwa said. He further accused WABC hosts of stabbing him in the back. Rosenberg told the Sliwa that the criticism was nothing personal and said he was worried that Mamdani is going to win."
